makeNewS: Create a matrix of bisquare bases for a set of locations.

In BSTFA: Bayesian Spatio-Temporal Factor Analysis Model

Create a matrix of bisquare bases for a set of locations.

Description

Create a matrix of bisquare bases for a set of locations. Used internally in BSTFA and BSTFAfull.

Usage

makeNewS(
  coords,
  n.locations,
  knot.levels = 2,
  max.knot.dist = mean(dist(coords)),
  x = NULL,
  premade.knots = NULL,
  plot.knots = FALSE,
  regions = FALSE
)

Arguments

coords	Matrix of coordinates for locations of interest.
n.locations	Number of observed locations.
knot.levels	Number of levels for the knots. Default is 2.
max.knot.dist	Maximum distance between an observation and a knot. Default is mean(dist(coords)).
x	Optional matrix of covariates to include in the model.
premade.knots	Optional list of length knot.levels each list item containing pre-chosen knots for that level.
plot.knots	Logical scalar indicating whether or not to plot the knots. Default is FALSE.
regions	Logical scalar indicating if the space should be divided into multiresolution regions. Default is FALSE.

Value

A matrix containing all the multiresolution bisquare bases evaluated at the input coordinates.
